GMM2012 - The Norwegian black metal outfit Dimmu Borgir is one of the festival’s household names. The band’s symphonic black metal set the marquees on fire on four past occasions. Their 1997 release Enthrone Darkness Triumphant is still an absolute black metal classic and it broke the band worldwide. The new millennium saw Dimmu Borgir experimenting with classical influences but that didn’t stop them from becoming the top-selling Norwegian band. Despite quite a few personnel changes, the band has managed to retain its signature sound and still enjoys a great live reputation. A word of advice: don’t be late or the best seats in the house will be taken…

Abrahadabra is Norwegian black
metal band Dimmu Borgir's ninth studio album, released in 2010.
The first single from the album, "Gateways", was released on August
20 in Europe and August 24 in North America.[8] On September 14 a
video for "Gateways" was released featuring Djerv front-woman,
Agnete Kjølsrud.[9] On September 17
the song "Born Treacherous" was released on Dimmu Borgir's official
Myspace for streaming.[10] On September 24
the band announced they would stream Abrahadabra in its entirety, until 7 p.m.
EST that evening. This would mark the first official release of all the tracks
on the album.[11]
Abrahadabra was in production
for eleven months.[15] Silenoz explained
that the growing periods of time between albums was because the band had
stopped writing music while touring, which was affecting the quality of the
music. He described the new album as having an "eerie and haunting feel to
it," adding that the material is "epic," "primal,"
atmospheric and ambient. A promotional image released with the statement showed
Shagrath returning to the keyboards.[16] The album features
an ensemble orchestra, the Kringkastingsorkestret (the Norwegian
Radio Orchestra), as well as the Schola Cantorum choir, totaling more than 100
musicians and singers.[17]
Gaute
Storaas, composer of the orchestral arrangements, released a statement on his
role in working on the album. “Their music is epic, thematic and symphonic
already from the creation; they are clearly having an orchestral approach to
composing. My role in this is sometimes just to transcribe their themes,
sometimes to take their ideas, tear them apart and build them back up in ways
that are true to the band's intentions. The music must also be both interesting
and playable for the musicians, and hopefully, meet the quality standards of
the orchestral world.”.[17]
"Abrahadabra", loosely
translated as "I will create as I speak", was created by author Aleister
Crowley in his work, Liber
AL vel Legis, or The Book of the Law. This album is the
second in the band's repertoire to deviate from the traditional three-word
title. Silenoz explained, "[It made] a lot of sense for us to move on from
that. It has served its purpose. We are a band that's all about change and
moving forward. An album title consisting of one word goes hand-in-hand with
the new material." In addition, Silenoz referenced the changes in the
band's "musical and lyrical content", as well as changes in the
band's line-up playing a role.[15]
The album
cover artwork was designed by Joachim Luetke, who described the
artwork's setting as "icy, bleak, wintery, [and] post-industrial".
Luetke added that the central figure's mask on the cover is representative of H. P.
Lovecraft's Elder Gods. "The mask/face personifies dominion of powers
far beyond mankind. The nameless gods witnessed the birth of our universe and
they'll watch it implode. To them, the age of mankind is but a blink of an
eye."[15]
After the
release of the album, the band announced that all future pressings would carry
a different album cover.[18]
As stated
by guitarists, Silenoz and Galder, in an interview
with Outune.net, the album presents musical influences reminiscent of Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia and Death
Cult Armageddon, with more emphasis on orchestral arrangements.[19]
The
album's lyrics are a notable departure from the usual style that Dimmu Borgir
implements. Songs contain subjects that deal with redemption, power, rebirth
and astral planes, among other, more vague concepts. Rather than focus on ideas
that are often panned as Satanic and offensive, the band has instead opted to
use more worldly and open matters. The start of track six contains a backward
message: "In Nomine dei Nostri Satanas Luciferi" (English
translation: In the name of our God, Satan the morning star Lucifer).
